I grabbed the 3DS versions of the objects, and they're not bad.
Unfortunately, the "Shareware" version is only the body, with no hands or
feet, and is a "robo" look. It was also a relatively low poly count, so
it renders a little chunky. Still, I think he only wants $45 for three
full figures, including morph targets for animating and animated face
maps. I agree that the stuff he's output is VERY impressive! And that's
not a bad price for getting good quality objects like that.
The readmes say he's got Imagine, 3DS, and DXF format, so you'd have to
convert to use them in Lightwave.
